George was really brilliant, and will love to go see him again; although I didn't like the support band so much.

We always catch George Benson when he is in the U.K. This recent tour, it must be said, was the best we have ever seen both George and his band. He goes from strength to strength as a remarkable guitarist and his voice is better now than it has ever been. This concert was just amazing!

Poor venue- wouldn't recommend it at all- rather like Butlins with a much older crowd but let's not discuss the taste of the audience who weren't much better.....incredible performance by George but we were just too far to see the detail- shame

At 69 years old the Old Master still puts on an amazing show that had the entire place on its feet, wooping and hollering, cheering and dancing as well as just Breezin!
The man has an amazing body of work to call upon and a superb band of guys around him that were just as unbelievable!

George Benson is the greatest jazz guitarist ever, but he has been able to combine this sometimes complicated
form of music with some of the greatest popular music ever written. And he has been doing this since 1964, although he came to the forefront of pop music during the 1980s.

He played non stop for 2 hours at the Nottingham Royal Theatre, but he still had not exhausted his music catalogue.

He is also a tremendous performer, and I recommend George Benson to anyone who appreciates the very best in first class music, performed by such an incredible talent.

George's set started off low key with an instrumental but then it all kicked off with classic tracks from my youth and the whole place stood up and started boogieing. He may be nearly 70 buit his voice has still gor those smooth jazz tones and his guitar playing skills amazing. Turn your love around and Give me the Night took me right back to my teenage years and the rest of the audience obviously felt the same. If you were born in the early 60s get yourself along to see the bold Georgie boy as he has still got it in spades and you cannot beat a large slice of nostalgia. The encore was the classsic On Broadway which was a fitting end to a great night. I would definitiely go and see him again. He also did a guitar solo of Danny Boy which was amazing and really showcased his guitar playing. Go George!

George Benson oozes class and accomplishment - his voice and his music are sublime. It is a pity that his sound crew let him down so badly in the opening of the concert. Sitting in good seats near the stage, the sound mix was so bad, you could not hear his singing clearly - he was drowned by the drums and keyboards. Even when he talked, it sounded like a British Rail announcement on a rainy day - full of static and very unclear. However, by the 5th song, it was improving and by the 6th it was great. Just so sad to start off so badly.

The night was brilliant from start to finish from the seats to the quickness of the bar service and even the weather surprise surprise.
I've seen Mr Benson once before and he was brilliant then and just as amazing now,the way he plays the guitar is brilliant you can't watch him and sit down you just want to be on your feet dancing.To think that he is now seventy and still rocking it is simply fantastic and I would love to see him again and would definatley recommend.

This was my first George Benson concert and I hadn't been aware of his guitar talent.
He was simply sensational and the voice as good as ever. He certainly had the audience on their feet with his superb music. Long may he reign !!!
